    Inconsistent connection

    • Written by from Gwynn Oak

    Dislike: Inconsistent HMDI connection from an iPhone 4 and worse from an iPad 2. The connection behaves as if there is a short in the cable... very frustrating! Returned the first purchase, because I thought the product may have been returned damaged; however, second purchase behaved exactly the same. I believe Apple should consider a redesign; great idea, but simply does not work well.

    I loved this product prior to upgrading to iOS6. It now does not work with my iPad (3rd Gen) or iPhone 4s. I do not recommend anyone buy it until Apple resolves these issues.

    This adapter won't play a HD movie bought via iTunes from iPad

    Paid 18 bucks for a HD movie from iTunes using an iPad and was hoping to watch it on a TV. Instead iPad displayed error. "Cannot Play Movie. The connected display is not authorized to play protected movie."

    What gives? I bought the movie and the adapter from Apple.

    - Disappointed Apple customer.

    Pathetic!
    This cable is useless with IO6. A fix is needed.

    Does not work with iOS 6.

    When I had iOS5, it work perfectly; after I installed iOS 6, I can not use it anymore on my New iPad 3. The screen on my TV now plays everything with a bright pink color and is very annoying to watch something or even mirror my iPad screen on the TV. And I know is not the adapter is the iOS 6 because it works with my iPhone 4, to watch Netflix or a movie that I have on my phone. As a consumer I feel really very sad, for all the mistakes Apple has made in the past months. Hoping they can fix it soon.

    Sincerely,
    Another disappointed customer.

    Got this with my new iPad 3 with IOS 6 upgrade. Tried it for the first time tonight, worked for about 10 seconds and then the TV screen went black. Hope there is a fix soon.

    IOS 6 update removed ability to watch or project videos

    As a teacher I depend on my iPod Touch, iPad, and now my iPhone to carry my videos to classes, meetings, and workshops. The upgrade apparently resulted in the loss of the ability to show through TVs or projectors (my principle use). I am angry and rushing to find my DVD players and all of my DVD source material to return to an earlier age. THANKS FOR THE SCREW-UP APPLE

    Since iOS6 upgrade all kinds of video playing apps lack support for 16:9 fullscreen through this adapter. Apple, you NEED to fix this in the next iOS update

    This was a wonderful addition to my Apple collection.
    Until I upgraded my iPad (post iPad 2 version) to iOS 6.

    Now 'this device is unsupported'.

    1 star because you can;t post 0

    Should have expected it.

    I purchased a camera adapted for my iPod (they call it the classic now) but when the iPod touch came out, it didn;t work either. Built in obsolescence.....love it,

    Stopped working after ios6

    I have used this product for over a year with no problems. It no longer works after I installed iOS 6. I used to watch HBO go and Cinemax go from my iPad 2 to any tv all the time but they stop supporting iPad vid out about 6 months ago. HBO says they hope to support this in the future which is strange since it used to work.

    About to buy one of these for new iPad but saw some posts so checked with Apple to be told that this device DOES NOT WORK WITH IOS6.

    I think this should be said on this page by Apple rather than reviewers!

    I bought this to replace the AV cable version, but I now want to use it and when I plug it in, it states "Accessory not supported".

    Bummer, waste of money and am on holiday with family and cannot plug into TV.

    The cable allows you to mirror iPad is play but does not play any movies rented or purchased on iTunes because they are hdcp protected. I have 2 hd tvs, plasma and led, both less than 2 years old, both do not support hdcp. Apple suggest that the solution is to buy a new tv. Very nice :-(

    I, too, have used the av adapter with my iPad 2 many, many times without a problem. After installing iOS 6 it no longer works correctly and I have nothing but problems.

    Doesn't do what it says on the tin.

    Bought this today with the intention to hook my iPad2 up to my hd tv, unfortunately most of my apps do not display on the tv when all is connected - including love film instant, sky go, 4OD amongst others.

    Apple you shouldn't really say..... "Put your slides, films, photos and everything else that fills your iPad or iPhone 4S screen on an even bigger screen — your HDTV. The Apple Digital AV Adapter mirrors exactly what you see on iPad or iPhone 4S so that everyone in the room can enjoy it on your widescreen TV, video projection screen or other HDMI-compatible display.* The Apple Digital AV Adapter also supports video out for iPad, iPhone 4 or iPod touch (4th generation)."

    Also when I connected my iphone4 only YouTube displayed properly. Would recommend giving this one a miss!

    Bought this a few weeks before the ios6 update only to find it no longer works with the update. No fix or explanation from Apple. Very disappointed and annoyed.
